In plain English
This DFARS section prohibits contracting officers from awarding contracts for fuel or fuel derivatives for an overseas contingency operation if the fuel is sourced from nations or regions that are prohibited from selling petroleum to the United States. It matters to contractors because it restricts where fuel used in such contracts can come from, and the prohibited sources are identified in FAR subpart 25.7 and the Office of Foreign Assets Control website.
